Hartley Mauditt Hartley Mauditt 1.0 PARISH Worldham, formerly Hartley Mauditt 2.0 HUNDRED Alton 3.0 NGR 474300 136100 4.0 GEOLOGY Upper Greensand 5.0 SITE CONTEXT (Map 2) Hartley Mauditt was formerly the central place of its own parish. It is now classed as a deserted medieval settlement (DMS), the principal earthworks of which can be seen in the fields immediately north-west and south of the surviving parish church. The other principal feature of the settlement is a large spring-fed lake that is situated to the east of the church and is separated from it by a narrow road, the former route to Selborne Priory and onwards to Selborne. The lake supplies a stream that passes through settlement earthworks south of the church. The parish has been absorbed into Worldham CP and West Worldham is 1km north. 6.0 PLAN TYPE & DESCRIPTION (Maps 3, 4 & 5) Church & manor house + associated settlement 6.1 Church & manor house Hartley Mauditt church is the only surviving building of the Medieval settlement. At 148.32 AOD it stands above ground to the west that drops to 134.0 AOD within 0.5km. The former manor house is well documented. Its traditional site is now occupied by a copse within 30m west of the church (Paragraph 11.0 No. 1). A new manor house was built in the early C18. It is thought to have been demolished c. 1798. 6.2.1 Associated settlement The presence of other settlement buildings north, west and south of the church is attested by the numerous earthworks. Some of these are house platforms. It is not possible to discern the layout of the settlement from the evidence of the earthworks. The selective tax returns listed in Paragraphs 14.2 and 14.4 suggest that taxable households in Hartley Mauditt did not rise above the low twenties. This does not mean that all of the houses were clustered around the church. Map 6 shows the distribution of settlement within the parish of Hartley Mauditt in 1840. Some of the taxable properties would have been at Candovers (the other manor in Hartley Mauditt), Jeffries Farm (now represented by Jeffries Cottages) and elsewhere. 6.2.2 According to Meirion-Jones (1970: 116) the number of houses in Hartley Mauditt (parish) declined from 23 in 1665 to 21 in 1673 and to16 in 1674. This is attributed to a C16 manorial policy of increasing demesne land as a part of the process of emparking (Meirion-Jones, 1970: 118 & 120).

Then and now it answered for 6 hides. Land for 5 ploughs. In lordship 1; 10 villagers and 3 smallholders with 4 ploughs. 2 mills at 100d; meadow, 2 acres; woodland at 4 pigs. Value before 1066, later and now 100s. William Mauduit claims 1 hide of this land which lay in Hartley (Mauditt). The Hundred and Shire testify to this. 14.2 Subsidy Rolls 1334 £1.11.6 1524 1st survey £1.18.8 (18 taxpayers) IH/99 256 Hartley Mauditt Hartley Mauditt 2nd survey £1.13.4 (20 taxpayers) 14.3 Manorial Documents Hartley; Candovers 14.4 Hearth Tax 1665 43 hearths chargeable (14 houses) 10 hearths listed as not chargeable (9 houses).

There is no similarity in the two lists of named taxpayers and it seems probable that the second entry (ie under Holdshot Hundred) is an error. 15.0 PLACE NAME 1086 Herlege; 1212 Hertlie; 1242 Hurtlye.
